  • Historical Summary: Radar Bomb Scoring
    HISTORICAL SUMMARY RADAR BOMB SCORING 1945 – 1983 Office of History 1st Combat Evaluation Group Barksdale AFB, Louisiana 09 November 1983 RADAR BOMB SCORING HISTORICAL SUMMARY RBS COMES OF AGE During World War II, allied bomber crews soon discovered that radar was an indispensable aid for strategic bombing. The British employed their bomber forces primarily at night. Thus a means of sighting independent of visibility was required. The American forces also required such a system even though they bombed in daylight. The weather in Europe was so consistently bad during the winter months that strategic bombing could only be accomplished with a radar system. The British were the pioneers in developing such systems while the industrial complex of the U.S. refined and improved their initial efforts. When victory in Europe seemed assured, military efforts focused in the Pacific. Here it became clear that training procedures for radar bombing were in their infant stages and severely lacking. T o correct this, staff work began to develop a training system which would improve crew proficiency in radar bombing through better scoring techniques. Under the jurisdiction of the Army Air Force Tactical Center, an experimental station was established in Jacksonville, Florida to test the training system. These tests proved the value of radar bomb scoring as a means of improving bombing training. Soon thereafter, the Second Air Force took actions to establish a radar bomb scoring station at Kansas City, Missouri, and later, a scoring detachment at Fort Worth, Texas. HQ Second Air Force originally had jurisdiction over this operation but as it grew in size and scope, it became clear that a formal organization was needed to control and manage the new training detachment.

  • February 2018
    February 2018 Welcome back to our regulars and a very warm welcome aboard to our new recruits. We are finding that some of our new recruits have some great stories to tell. Sincere thanks to our regular contributors, Gary Martinic, Chris Meuzelaar and Paul Rosenzweig for their continued support. You can read an article from Paul on 6 Wing activities in this edition. There are some great insights out there showing the work the AAFC Staff and Cadets are doing and it is not just the average home Squadron activities. Thanks also to our dedicated supporters of the Quiz. Without them we wouldn’t know if our magazine was getting out. We have discussed the continuation of the magazine. Is it worth continuing? We really don’t know if it is being read or if we have lost our way. We have sent out over 25 editions of the Magazine and we really need to know if it is worth the effort for a couple of people. We would welcome your comment, and/or some articles of interest. UPDATE ON AAFC ANNUAL HERITAGE WRITING COMPETITION As forecast in the November edition of the Air Cadets Alumni e-Mag, an annual Heritage Writing Competition has been organised and managed by your Alumni Committee. The competition is supported by CAF and was launched by the AAFC Commander on 18 November 2017. See the AAFC Commander’s video message here. In this inaugural year of the competition, entry is restricted to current AAFC staff and cadets and there are cash and other prizes to be won.

  • Farewell Qantas
    Farewell Qantas 747 Wednesday 22 July was a sad day for many aviation enthusiasts as Qantas’ last Boeing 747-438 ER, VH-OEJ, ‘Wunala’, departed Sydney for Los Angeles and eventually to the aircraft boneyard in Victorville on the edge of the Mojave Desert, to be placed into storage. The departure was done in style though with all the fanfare and flourish befitting the ‘Queen of the Skies’! After push back, the aircraft initially performed a ‘lap of honour’ at Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport, complete with the traditional water cannon salute, before departing on Runway 16R as QF7474. The departure was followed by some low level passes over the Sydney metropolitan area before VH-OEJ turned south to the Illawarra to fly over her older sibling, VH-OJA ‘City of Canberra’ at Shellharbour airport. The departure of VH-OEJ marks the end of almost 50 years of Qantas operating Boeing 747 ‘Jumbo jet’ aircraft. The first was a Boeing 747-238, entering service with Qantas in September 1971. A total of 65 747s were operated by Qantas during the period 1971 to 2020, including almost every variant offered by Boeing. Many Qantas staff, past and present, attended HARS on the day to wave farewell to VH-OEJ and catch up with old friends from their days of flying. As VH-OEJ passed over Shellharbour airport at 1,500 feet, Captain Sharelle Quinn saluted the first Qantas 747-438: “...from the last Qantas Boeing 747, farewell to HARS and farewell to OJA,” before setting course for Los Angeles. At least that’s what everyone thought until somebody noticed on a flight tracking app, the aircraft turning back towards Port Macquarie.
